Friedman: Red Wings could potentially move Athanasiou?

[KingsFan7824]

Waiving a 35 year old, who will be a UFA at the end of the year, and hasn't played a game for the Wings this year, is an indication the status quo isn't acceptable? What are the Wings trying to do anyway?

When you need talent, you lose.

 

[Number1RedWingsFan52]

Hell no, think more along the lines of prospects/picks and one of Manning or Gagner bundled in for salary cap reasons. The idea of getting AA would be for him to play with RNH, not subtract the center that allows us to run McDavid and Drai together.

edit: If you'd prefer a hockey trade that doesn't make you worse in the near term, Larsson is a potential option.

Your prospects and picks had better be pretty dam good for us to even consider it, Manning and or Gagner along with prospects or picks are a joke. You need to realize that AA will more then likely come with an extension as part of the deal so that only increases his value. Doubt Detroit has any interest in any of Edmontons prospects outside of Bouchard and Broberg and neither are going anywhere. And unless Edmonton falls out of the playoffs and gets a top 10 2020 1st round pick. Can't see Yzerman moving him to Edmonton.

That's fine.

We aren't actively looking to make our team worse, if you subtract Nuge out the 2nd line would be Athanasiou - Sheahan - Neal, unless the intent is to split up the best duo in the NHL. I'd prefer our current plan of Mystery Meat of the Day - RNH - Neal line to the one with Sheahan as our 2nd line center.

 

[TS Quint]

So Elliot thinks that the Wings might be possibly considering thinking about trading AA not because of anything Yzerman is saying about AA but because he waived Ericsson. Thanks “insider”.

If he would have even said Nielsen or Helm who are in more similar situations as Ericsson that might almost be something.

 

[Voodoo Glow Skulls]

I was hoping futures in terms of draft picks and prospects would be of more interest to assist in your rebuild. I’ll admit to wishful thinking. Our depth is too thin up front to send Nuge so I’d have to politely decline.

Athanasiou

For

Gagner


That makes the cap work. What would you add?

 

[HawkeyTalkMan]

AA for Seabrook

 

[Seachd]

AA for Seabrook

Why would you think this is an appropriate thing to post?

 

[Oil Spill]

Athanasiou

For

Gagner

Pulijarvi.

 

[deca guard]

aa for oils 1st

 

[nbwingsfan]

His value is worthless, would be idiotic to move the guy at this point

Young 30 goal scorers are worthless? 12 games isn’t going to change his last season.

 

[LarKing]

Would be stupid to trade him now or at all imo. A team that can’t score outside of the top line shouldn’t be trading a guy who can score 30+ without great line mates.

 

[780il]

This?

Oh hell no

 

[Realgud]

aa for oils 1st

I'd do it. Lafrenière would be a great help to the Wings.

 

[780il]

Athanasiou

For

Gagner


That makes the cap work. What would you add?

I'd throw in a 2nd and Caleb Jones. Deal?

 

[780il]

I'd offer a 2nd along with Caleb Jones and Gagner to make the cap work.

Would be nice to add someone with speed and skill to Nuges line and not leave him hanging.

 

[Dr Quincy]

Something around AA and RNH?

I can't imagine any scenario that would have this make any sense whatsoever for EDM.

 

[topshelf15]

He is a burner that creates offense with his speed,they tend to be streaky....Dont see why Detroit would trade him ,everybody needs speed in their lineup...

 

[Dr Quincy]

AA for Seabrook

If by AA you mean this guy.... then maybe.

 

[deca guard]

i dont want that offer but aa on nuges wing look out ! an excellent passing center is exactly what he needs . aa-nuge-neal would be a great line .

 

[TheUltimateOiler]

Oilers offer Khaira + 3rd + Manning

No incentive for us to make this deal, Gagner is an aging pending UFA that doesn't fit our rebuild, Jones+2nd isn't enticing enough to move AA Jones isn't a need as we are building up our D pipeline rather nicely here. Without RNH being included in the deal. I don't see a match between the Oilers and Wings here.

 

[Ezekial]

Oilers offer Khaira + 3rd + Manning

Detroit says no 3 times.

 

[Reddwit]

Detroit wants scoring. Detroit wants youth. Detroit wants to trade a 25 year old who just scored 30 goals?

Friedman needs to keep some of his “thoughts” to himself.

 

[Reddwit]

Why would you think this is an appropriate thing to post?

Lol this is my new favorite response to poorly thought out proposals.

 

[BronxBruin]

Too bad he doesn't play RW...I'd think Boston would be all over him to play with Krejci and Debrusk.
